Fried Chicken Tender with Umeboshi for Bento Fried Chicken Tender with Umeboshi for Bento
This is our family's regular dish.-If the umeboshi is popping out, the chicken will spit when it's being fried. To prevent this, make sure to press it down and dredge well.-The chicken won't cook thoroughly if the oil is too hot. So, make sure it's just the right temperature. Recipe by Yuuyuu0221

Stir-Fried Chicken Breast With Ume-Shiso Sauce Stir-Fried Chicken Breast With Ume-Shiso Sauce
I love the combination of chicken, umeboshi and shiso leaves, so I thought up an easy recipe that uses all three.I use pretty sour umeboshi, so if you have sweet umeboshi use less mirin.In Step 2, if you want to make it more sour, add more umeboshi, and if you want it sweeter add more mirin.If you add more shiso leaves than called for in the recipe it will become even more aromatic, so I recommend it.

I made this sauce for swordfish and it turned out really delicious, so I decided to try it with chicken. It was so tasty that I also added my favorite avocado.※ I used an umeboshi that was lightly salted and sweet. Be careful about the salt content if you use a heavily salted umeboshi.The umeboshi fruit will stick to the frying pan, but since it adds an accented flavor, add it to the dish. Recipe by Ayumeshi -

Yakitori With Umeboshi-Mayonnaise and Wasabi-Mayonaise Sauces Yakitori With Umeboshi-Mayonnaise and Wasabi-Mayonaise Sauces
I love yakitori.I like to eat it sometimes with different sauces other than the usual soy-sauce based one.If you brush either ume-mayo or wasabi-mayo sauce on the chicken at the beginning it will get burned, so brush it on halfway through cooking or only at the very end. Recipe by Arikan -

This is the first time that I made ume plum jam and I wanted to use it in cooking. I got hold of lots of ume plums lately and picked the irregular and and damaged ones, and let them fully ripen to make jam. It's quite sour but will make you feel good!Adjust the amount of sugar to the sweetness of the ume plum jam.Boil the sauce down to your preference. It's prone to scorching, so be careful.Apricot jam will also give this dish a nice flavour. Recipe by Blue poppy -
